I'm terribly fond of Easter Peeps and the related holiday Peep relatives. This Christmas I found no Just Born Santas, snowmen, reindeer, Christmas trees... What happened, where are they? Are they just missing in my area or are missing elsewhere? Anyone know?

 

There weren't the varieties of Kisses either, other chocolate can be substituted for them but Peeps have no substitute.

I think Peeps are really cute, but never could eat many of them, preferring chocolate.  So I really haven't been looking hard for them, but don't remember seeing the Hershey Kisses varieties, around either!

 

Visiting the "Just Born" website, they appear to be up and running.  I had no idea they had expanded their product so much.

 

I wonder if there was a shortage of corn syrup maybe this year?  (I worked for a manufacturer of corn syrup this last year, and they, for one, were having problems filling orders),

Saw them at Dollar Tree, Target, Farm & Fleet & others places too. You can still order them online at Peeps & Company & other sites...it's always fun having a favorite holiday treat.

Oh, I partake of my share of chocolate too. I love chocolate covered marshmallows. I make my own, those in stores haven't enough chocolate on them to suit me.

One yummy thing I discovered this year was M&Ms filled with a chocolate-hazelnut (Nutella) mixtire.  I got them at Walmart and Walgreens.  Boy, are they good

I saw them at Walmart and a variety of kisses there as well.  I got the snowman Peeps in my stocking,  they are cute,  but I don't really care for them that much.
